What is the total number of valence electrons in a silicate ion sio32-?

1 answer:

4 0

Valence electrons are number of the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom
silicon has 4 valence electrons
oxygen has 2 since in SiO3^-2 they are 3 this make valence electrons to be 6
SiO3^-2 have negative charge of two thes means has two extra electrons hence has 2 valence electrons

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{e. 15.4 mol C$_{3}$H}_{8}}$

Explanation: $\text{Moles of propane} = 9.25 \times 10^{24}\text{ molecules} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol }}{6.022 \times\ 10^{23} \text{molecules}} = \textbf{15.4 mol}$

the problem say what is the volume (in kL) of 3.7505 x 10^4 mg of iron? Iron has a density of 7.87 g/ml. Use correct significant

Elis [28]

So first find the volume

so 7.78g/ml and (3.7505 times 10^4) grams
therefor we dividde (3.7505 times 10^4) by 7.78 and get how many ml

the answer is 4820.69 ml

kL means kilo lieters
kilo=1000
kL=1000Liters
ml=milileters=1/1000 leiter
1000ml=1L
therfor
1kL=1000L
1000L=1000 times (1000ml)
1000L=1,000,000ml
1kL=1,000,000ml

so to convert to kL divide 4820.69 by 1,000,000
0.00482069
convert to scientifiic notation
4.8 times 10^-3

the answer is 4.8 times 10^-3 kL

Menthol, the substance we can smell in mentholated cough drops, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.1005 g sample of menthol is comb

Bogdan [553]

Answer: The molecular formula for the menthol is $C_{10}H_{20}O$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=0.2829g$

Mass of $H_2O=0.1159g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.2829 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 0.2829=0.077g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.1159 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.1159=0.0129g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.1005) - (0.077 + 0.0129) = 0.0106 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.077g}{12g/mole}=0.0064moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.0129g}{1g/mole}=0.0129moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.0106g}{16g/mole}=0.00066moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.00066 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0064}{0.00066}=9.69\approx 10$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.0129}{0.00064}=19.54\approx 20$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.00066}{0.00066}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 10 : 20 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{10}H_{20}O_1=C_{10}H_{20}O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 156.27 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 156 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{156.27g/mol}{156g/mol}=1$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 10)}H_{(1\times 20)}O_{(1\times 1)}=C_{10}H_{20}O$

Thus, the molecular formula for the menthol is $C_{10}H_{20}O$
